Who's your candidate to take over as GM?

what happens now to all the staff in scouting/etc thats with cardinals now? Some stay / some go?

8 weeks ago I was 100% convinced that one of AW or Quentin Harris would be the new GM.

good for Mike to try something new. No idea is this guy is any good or not

You echoed my thoughts exactly.

I hope he works out.

Likely the GM brings in his own people. However, it is not unusual for some to be retained. Unless AW or QH get promotions I suspect they will look to move on IMO.

 

[Goldfield]

I wanted an outside guy. So I’m happy about that. Now let’s hope this guys is good at his job! Welcome to Arizona Monti.

 

[Harry]

Good chance either one or both of he Cards’ guys move on.

Nearly all stay. Certainly the scouts. For now anyway.

They’ll stay through the draft and then we’ll see churn.

Sean McDonough absolutely shut out of this process.

I think you mean Terry McDonough

And I agree!!!!!

Apparently the Cards picked my candidate, Cunningham, but he turned down the job. It had to be either money or something that came up during the interview. Before he interviewed Cunningham would have asked around, so it had to happen during the process. Hopefully someday the “why” will leak out.

I'm still curious to find out what happened

To turn down a promotion like that there has to be something that was a deal breaker

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I think it's as simple as, he preferred Tennessee and somebody (agent) told him he was the favorite for that job, so he declined AZ. Things like that happen all the time in corporate America.

After the Sears move things are looking pretty nice. I like that Harris and Wilson are getting to make their own decisions about their futures. If they are about getting things right they can use this to elevate themselves into a GM spot.

If Wilson or Harris get a future GM job, would we get comp draft picks?

Yes. 3 third round picks

 

[BritCard]

If they are hired away from us, yes.

 

[Harry]

If they are hired away from us, yes.

It wouldn’t shock me to see the Cards let them go without compensation. Just Bidwill’s kind of thinking.

Maybe he is finally thinking outside his box. Hopefully with a year under a different management style, they can find GM jobs and we can increase our draft capital.

It's the new Rooney rule. We automatically get those picks if another team hires then was putin place so they aren't blocked by their current team. It's not compensation from other teams.

Hope not. Need those draft picks.

Not certain that applies if they’re released.
